Hi somebody just asked me something and I don't know the answer. If you 
have a iPad that only does WiFi, what happens if you misplace it 
somewhere or it gets stolen and you want to use Find My to find it? It 
can't connect to the Internet to say where it is unless it gets near a 
WiFi network it already knows.

I know maybe it can use Bluetooth if there are other Apple devices 
around, but that's more iffy. Iphones can get on the Internet with 
cellular and say where they are, but what about an iPad w/o cellular??
